Just so you know, backups were in place for Mariah Carey's Times Square performance. In addition to her in-ear monitors, monitor wedges were spread across the stage, featuring similar mixes to those in her ears. Her inability to perform was not due to technical difficulties, but more to her refusal to roll with the realities of the situation and to adapt. I understand that it may not be ideal, but she locked up rather than attempting to put on a good show for her fans.
Many artists have continued to perform, trying to maintain the good energy, even when far more substantial failings than an in-ear monitor mix issue occurred.
